Description
Prince Far I was born Michael James Williams in Spanish Town, Jamaica in 1945. Growing up in the Waterhouse area of Kingston he attended dances MC'd by the early Djs who would become his inspiration. With confidence and experience he assumed the role of lead DJ with the Sir Mike the Musical Dragon Sound System. It has often been written that his early DJ name, King Cry Cry, was derived form either the pleading nature of his delivery or the righteous content of his lyrics. The actual explanation of the "nom de mic" is much more prosaic. The Prince had a strange habit of breaking out in uncontrollable sobbing on becoming angry!
Between 1981 to 1983 Spending an increasing amount of time in England, he also collaborated with UK On-U Sound Records including providing vocals in the reggae collective Singers & Players and may be considered a mentor figure to Adrian Sherwood. In 1983, he was recording the album Umkhonto We Sizwe with producer Roy Cousins in Kingston. Before the album was finished, he was shot at his home during a robbery, allegedly relating to a dispute over money, and died later in hospital.
Prince Far I - not so much a DJ in the classic style, but more a chanter of words.
